Abstract


The Government of Indonesia promotes the idea of independent learning (MB-KM) as the natural learning process to achieve student’s autonomy for critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative skills. The purpose of this study is to map various forms of synergies between the higher education and industrial sector and job market (IDUKA) as a form of implementing MB-KM Curriculum. This qualitative research involved heads of the study programs in regards their strategy to engage with IDUKA. The responses show positive preference of 86.8% by revitalizing the curriculum involving IDUKA, and realignment to MB-KM shows a positive preference of 78.9%. The data show the preference for implementing MB-KM Curriculum lies on collaboration programs, focusing on its implementation in lectures by involving IDUKA with various forms of supports, namely policy-making from leaders related to cooperation, management, governance, stakeholders, alumni users, and cooperation funds. The results of this study become the rationale for higher education to implement relevant MB-KM Curriculum.
